My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Chapter 16 - 16: Apologizing on Behalf of the Lu Family



Qiao Yin quietly moved towards the Old Madam, picked up a chestnut to feed her, and began chatting with her, “Grandma, how has your health been recently? Still having palpitations? How has your sleep been?”

“Everything’s fine. The issue with palpitations has been completely cured by your grandmother! I’ve been eating the medicinal food she prepared for me and drinking the herbal tea. She really is a miracle doctor. Many doctors have looked at my palpitations but none could alleviate it. She cured me instantly and saved my life!”

Qiao Yin noticed her complexion looked really good and felt relieved. She smiled and said, “If you find it helpful, I’ll go and get some more herbs from my grandmother for you. Continue to use them like before, and they’ll keep you healthy and sharp-sighted even when you’re ninety-nine.”

Old Madam laughed joyfully at her words, and her affection for Qiao Yin grew stronger. In just a while, she ordered her servants to bring several treasures to give Qiao Yin.

Qiao Yin did not refuse, she accepted them all.

Suddenly, Lu Lingche spoke up, “You truly have no qualms, even daring to accept grandma’s ancestral jade bracelet.”

Qiao Yin froze, “Grandma, this jade bracelet…”

The Old Madam patted her hand, smiling, “Indeed, it is an ancestral bracelet. It was given to me when I married into the Lu family. Traditionally, it is given to daughters-in-law. I didn’t give it to Lingche’s mother, but directly to you.”

Qiao Yin was taken aback and quickly pushed the bracelet back, “This is too valuable, you should keep it!”

The Old Madam picked up the jade bracelet and personally put it on her, “You can refuse the other trinkets I gave, but you must accept this. You are the daughter-in-law I personally chose for Lingche, this bracelet was meant for you. Look, it suits you perfectly, like it was custom-made just for you.”

In the past, even if she was hesitant, Qiao Yin would have accepted this gift, but now she no longer had the right to accept it.

She glanced at Lu Lingche, who showed no reaction, apparently not intending to bring up the topic of divorce before dinner so as to not spoil the Old Madam’s appetite.

Qiao Yin stayed silent too.

Just then, dinner was served and she helped Old Madam to the dining room to eat.

During dinner, Lu Lingche received a call and quickly left.

From the gentle tone of his voice during the call, Qiao Yin guessed that it was Lan Yuyi who had called. He only spoke so tenderly when talking with Lan Yuyi.

Her heart was extremely sour, but she continued to smile and accompany Old Madam to finish dinner.

However, the Old Madam was no easy person to fool. She put down her chopsticks and asked Qiao Yin, “Yinyin, why didn’t you and Lingche talk today? Did he bully you?”

Qiao Yin nearly burst into tears at her question.

The Old Madam still loved her so much. Even when there was a conflict between her and Lu Lingche, she’d assume it was Lu Lingche who had wronged her.

“Grandma.”

Qiao Yin with her teary eyes: “We’re planning to get a divorce.”

“What?”

The Old Madam got up in shock, “What happened?”

“Lan Yuyi is pregnant with his child.”

The Old Madam froze for a moment, then snapped back to reality and angrily exclaimed, “That bastard! Even laying his hands on his elder brother’s woman! Now I know why he rushed away during dinner, he is guilty and afraid of me scolding him to death!”

She held Qiao Yin’s hand and led her back to the sofa in the living room, “Poor child, you’ve been wronged. It’s all Lu family’s fault for not raising their sons right. It was that jerk who wronged you. I will scold him properly later, and on behalf of him and the Lu family, I apologize to you.”

“Rest assured, I will take care of this matter. You guys definitely won’t divorce. As long as you are Lu family’s daughter-in-law for one day, you’ll always be!”

“As for Lan Yuyi, she has good calculation skills. Once the eldest son is gone, she quickly clings to the second son.. Hmph, if she wants to enter this family, she’ll have to ask if I, the matriarch, agree!”
